We invite you to join us next week for discussions of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying.

Plus, hear NAS President Peter Wood speak at the Heritage Foundation this Friday! 

More on our upcoming webinars and events:

Join NAS next Tuesday, August 2nd, at 2 pm ET, for a discussion of Mark Twain's novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

“Right is right, and wrong is wrong, and a body ain’t got no business doing wrong when he ain’t ignorant and knows better.”

What makes The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn a great American novel? When published, it was widely criticized for its "coarse language," a charge that continues to this day. Does the book's language undercut its attempts to challenge the entrenched attitudes of its day?

This webinar will feature Alan Gribben, Emeritus Professor of English at Auburn University; Caroline Breashears, Professor of English at St. Lawrence University; and Robert Lamb, Professor of English in the College of Liberal Arts at Purdue University.

The discussion will be moderated by David Randall, Director of Research at the National Association of Scholars.

Join NAS next Friday, August 5th, at 2 pm ET, for a discussion of William Faulkner's novel As I Lay Dying.

"Memory believes before knowing remembers."

What makes As I Lay Dying a great American novel? How did the novel help solidify Faulkner's place as a pioneer of stream of consciousness writing? Who influenced Faulkner's writings, and who did his writings influence?

This webinar will feature John Wharton Lowe, Barbara Methvin Professor of English at the University of Georgia; Robert Hamblin, Professor Emeritus of English and Former Director of the Center for Faulkner Studies at Southeast Missouri State University; and Peter Lurie, Associate Professor of English at the University of Richmond. 

The discussion will be moderated by David Randall, Director of Research at the National Association of Scholars.

Join NAS President Peter Wood this Friday, July 29th, at 10 am ET, for an event at the Heritage Foundation.

As the ideologies of identity politics and critical race theory march through America’s institutions, even the homes of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison aren’t safe. Some of these historic homes have taken seriously the legacy of the Founders and presented American history in a fair and unbiased manner. Unfortunately, others, with an overwhelming focus on historical grievances, neglect or malign the contributions of these remarkable individuals.

Join Dr. Wood at the Heritage Foundation as he breaks down the state of play at Mount Vernon, Monticello, and Montpelier and discusses what Americans can and should do to save these cradles of the Republic.
